Today's Reads

For your Sunday amusement and edification, we offer:

--  Whiskey Fire's look at the 2014 prognostications of Still Dead Breitbart.com's Ben "Dover" Shapiro,* our "Friends of Hamas" wanker.

--  Frequent blind squirrel Dana Milbank's take on Chief "Justice" John Roberts' complaints about an under-funded Judiciary, and why pro-business, small government right-wingers like Roberts have only themselves to blame.

--  John Amato over at Crooks & Liars wonders if tea baggers in Congress can be forestalled by the "Chamber of Commerce wing" of the Republican Party from staging another showdown over the upcoming debt ceiling vote when the yahoos still have no clue (or worse, don't care) how big a disaster a default would be.

BONUS:  Read about the late Florida Republican Rep. Bill Young's strange notion of what "family values" meant (hint:  hypocrisy).  What a man!

* Re Young Ben, it'll never get old.
